A MUGWUMPS GROWL.
Cleveland Advised That the Patron
age Of the Government Is Being
Abused.

AUuSCu.
In prominent place in the paper the
New York Evening Post. last week,
printed long editorial under the cap
tion of "The Importance of the Finish" !"
The following is an extract from it:
az We, who believe firmly in
the great superiority of President Cleve-
land to any of bis recent predecessors
in bis manner of using the patronage of
the Government, cannot conceal from
ourselves nevertheless that 1t is in the
highest degree dangerous to enter on
the last year of his administration with
cut greatly checking the political actiVi-
e of some of his subordinates; and not
Gully this, but without giving the pub
lie good many conspicuous examples,
between now and June, 1888, of the
kind of administration he had in mind
when he wrote bis celebrated letter to
Nj George W. Curtis and others. A
good many gentleman are in fact now
preparing for his denomination in ways
which will make it extremely difficult
for civil service reformers to go to the
polls for him with the alacrity they dis
played in 1884 Numerous dismissals
have been made OF are being made, which
are just as bad. from every point of
view. moral political and administra-
tive, as any that occurred under Grant
or Garfield, or would have occurred un
der Blaine. This downard course must
be arrested il we are to have 1884 over
again. There is still time, but it will
soon be too late to make an effective
change. No man who has ever sat in
the Presidential chair. since Jackson's 8
day, can less we'll afford to go h. tore the
American people for reelection with
such a record as President Cleveland is
now allowing some of bis official fol-
lowers to make up for him. Nobody
could afford 1t who had accomplished
even half as much good as he has done.
We cannot recall any other administers
fie than his since the war to which
s,,i-n an appeal as this could be effective
~, made. He has given many illustra>
tiDDs during the past three years of the
u ility of calling his attention to de-
partures made by his followers from
his own program. What we wish now
to emphasize is that the time during
which such corrections and emendations
can be made to produce their proper
effect on public opinion is very brief
and must be i'm posed"

IT may be interesting to note that the
many is regarded as vulgar slang. has
really the high classical authority of the
Bible. 1t is Job (ix, 2O) who exclaims,
in his anguish-"I am escaped with the
skin of my teethr" Some common say
ings. such as "God tempers the wind to
the shOrn lamb Pouring oil on the
troubled waters" The war horse scents
the battle from afar," etc, are supposed
to be in the Bible. though not so. But
there are not many who. In using the
expression of hanging on or being saved

high authority for its use.

JUSTICE DUFFY. of New York police
court, has the knack of using the Eng

running sore" and the otnet day when
Larry Donovan. the fellow who jumped
from the Brooklyn bridge. was brought
into court for making another attempt
to jump. the little judge" remarked
that he was fool and sent bim til

That fits the case beautifully.

The virtue of lime-wash as protec'
tion against FIRE is emphasized by the
American Analyst. In France it is
common to thickly coat with white
wash the beams, joists, and the under
side of flooriDgs. While this pIecation
will not prevent the spread of fire
once under great headway, it is a guard
against the prime ignition that often
leads to dire results.
